The Secret to Scaling Affiliate Commissions: Become the Ultimate "Connector"
Most people treat affiliate links like a slot machine posting a link and simply hoping it pays. In this episode of AI Paycheck, Raje and guest Graham Whitaker break down a more strategic approach: increasing affiliate commissions by linking to other people's content. This isn't about "copying" posts; it’s about becoming a "connector" who curates a path for the reader, reducing their work and building trust as a multiplier for conversions.

Why This Strategy Works:By linking to the best third-party proof for every "choice trigger" such as a setup tutorial for a learning curve or a demo video for output quality your page becomes credible without you needing to pretend you've tested every single detail yourself. You aren't faking expertise; you are showing your research trail.
Stop chasing clicks and start building intent. Whether you are a freelancer or an agency owner, this episode provides a 2-hour action plan to help you pick a "money question" and publish your first connector page this week.
AI Tools mentioned in the quickfire round include LLMs for source grading and decision table extraction, as well as link management systems that allow you to update destinations across your entire site in seconds.
Building a connector page is like being the architect of a bridge; instead of making people swim across a river of information, you provide the structure that leads them exactly where they need to go.
